Malaika's Mommy wanna know 8 random facts about Cairo. I'm not gonna tag anybody a second time for this same title, so you guys can exhale now, duh!

Okie, here we go:

Fact 1:At birth, Cairo was the biggest baby at the hospital's nursery (our floor anyway :p), weighing in at a hefty 3.89kg.

Fact 2:Contrary to popular believe, Cairo isn't an only child. See how protective her two brothers are?The darker one is "Froggy, aka Koko" and the lighter one is "Junior aka Naughty".

"How come she's our little sister but so much bigger in size? And not one bit of green on her!?"

"Quick, Mommy's coming... act like we like the baby!"

"Mommy, what's this? We like! Buy, ok?"(yep, that's the bed for jaundiced babies at the hospital. Cairo used it for a while)

(They are NOT toys. The Boys "talk" to us every night and still sleeps in our bed, followed us on holidays, had their portraits framed up and even got Ang Pows from Mommy, Daddy and Grandmas during Chinese New Years :p)

Fact 3:Cairo had quite a lot of hair at birth but didn't grow much back after her customary "Head Shaving Ceremony" when she turned 100 days old. We've never cut her hair since.

Fact 4:Cairo had excema very soon after birth (no symptoms for a long time now, so I lie to myself and use past tense). We had to be darn careful of her food intake, introducing new stuff to her way later than others - even now she's not allowed seafood, except fish. No furry soft toys then (her brothers not considered... they had frequent baths anyway). Always well ventilated. Used only moisturiser and bathing shampoo prescribed by her doc cos even Sebamed was too harsh for her then!

Fact 5:Loves to dance! Unfortunately, seems to like trashy rock stuff and will bop her head along like some drunken groupie, yucks!

Fact 6:Cairo likes to give us massage or pretend to apply ointment for us if she thinks that we are injured. She will shake some water out of her "mag mag", rub her hands together and smother them on our "injuries" as though healing them. She must have seen the way Grandma applied medicated oil and picked it up, hahaha!

Fact 7:Cairo is a nocturnal creature. She goes to bed several hours after her parents have long gone to bed. She suits her Grandma's normal sleeping hours to a T! We are pretty sure that Cairo is imitating her right now and we're thinking of drugging her (Grandma, not Cairo) back to normal sleeping hours when Cairo starts school next year!

Fact 8:Cairo insists on going into Mommy & Daddy's room for reading and playing session at night. The only way Mommy / Daddy is able to drive her out of the room is to do the "Goodnight Ritual". Upon hearing them, Cairo will wave, say bye bye and walk out of the room without making a fuss.

Wonder why I only posted photos for Fact 2? Cos I promised the Boys I won't let Cairo steal their thunder this round :p

marisa:hehehe, i have plenty photos of the boys but i think they look smashing in those 3... way cuter than cairo hahaha :D

etc mommy & mommy of 2 angels:i think many babies has got it nowadays... lucky it's also easier for us to get info on how to make them feel better....check out alternative mom's blog. she did a good post on ezcema.
